Description: American President Ronald Reagan is seen applying mafia boss style pressure on New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange, watched by Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Exhibition caption reads - It was undoubtedly naive of David Lange and his government to think that the declaration of a New Zealand nuclear-free zone would be tolerated by New Zealand's ANZUS allies. The United States refused to confirm or deny whether visiting warships were nuclear powered or armed, effectively bringing the tripartite defence treaty to an abrupt end. The result, despite pressure from Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke, was an uneasy truce.
